Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.
Rinse the fresh basil leaves, pat them dry with a paper towel, and gently tear them into smaller pieces. Add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Crumble the feta cheese into small chunks and sprinkle it evenly over the tomatoes and basil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients in the mixing bowl.
Gently toss everything together until the tomatoes, basil, and feta are evenly coated with the dressing.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish or bowl and enjoy immediately. Optionally, garnish with additional basil leaves or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra presentation.
